Response CD

Description

Phil Wickhan's eagerly awaited Response CD connects with UK audiences following his recent appearances at Worship Central, Soul Survivor. Phil's contemporary poetic style is at the same time imaginative and firmly scriptural.

Response includes Phil's version of 'At your name' co-written with Tim Hughes of Worship Central, released as a radio single.

Described as 'a refreshing young singer/song writer with something to say' Phil Wickhan has the presence of a mature musical and lyrical talent. "Phil has such an incredible sense of melody and lyrics that read like poetry, "says Simple Records and MercyMe producer Pete Kipley. "The listener will leave with feelings of the greatness of God, and the desire for God to have an intimate relationship with us."

Phil Wickham's previous CDs include his Simple Records debut album Phil Wickham, Heaven and Earth, and Canons, inspired by CS Lewis' Voyage of the Dawn Treader from the Chronicles of Narnia series.

Response is Phil Wickham's fifth CD after his independent release Give You My World and the second since his marriage to long time girlfriend, Mallory Plotnik. Spurred on by his parents and pastor to write and perform his own worship songs, Phil recall's his first as 'I want to be with Him' written at age 13.

Phil never went out to make it in the music world. Pressure to release a CD drew the first response 'are you kidding? No way.' With the release of Response, Phil's acknowledged music influences of Jeff Buckley, U2, Ryan Adams, Travis and Cold Play have grown mixed and matured into a style all his own.
